Here I Have A Vintage Rubber Stamp Carousel Holder
A Mid Century Office/Desk Accessory by Standard.
It adds a touch of mid century style with its silver metal arms and green base.
The arms are fully functional for holding handled stamps of various sizes, as the prongs are flexible.
Standard is known for quality office supplies and accessories.
It originally held 8 stamps. Unfortunately three of the arms are missing.
There were eight arms with "slots" on them, each capable of holding up to three stampers.
This is a great addition to my vintage office accessories.
It measures...
Base diameter
4 ¼”
Stands
6 3/4 inches Tall
Across Arms
8 5/16 inches across where the stamps are suspended from the metal arms.
This piece has lots of character, with its industrial look.
It is nicely weighted, and bears the name of its maker, "Standard", on the top. Which unscrews to allow the rotating rack to be removed.
The underneath is unmarked.
This rack could also be used to hold small tools for handy access on your desktop or work table. Or glass beakers as vases for flowers or to house pens and pencils. Kitchen utensils, Photograph's, even nail polish or scrunchies =)
I have actually been using it to hold an assortment of my hair brushes ;)
There's a lot of versatility with this piece!
Kerry, thanks so much for that very quick love ;)
You're very welcome Aim.... I'm always good for a "Quickie" oops I didn't say that, lol

Oh wow Aims, this is really neat! I can think of all kinds of uses. Thanks for sharing with us.
